Remote control tools are essential tools for anyone who wants to offer assistance to other users or check their computers over a distance. Unfortunately, establishing a connection between two machines involves complex configurations. If someone requires assistance with a computer issue, you would have to help them configure a remote control application before anything else, which is a waste of time. This is where ShowMyPC comes in. It allows you to connect to a remote computer, over the Internet, with a single click. The application can be used for various purposes, like offering remote assistance, online meetings, keeping an eye on remote computers and more.

ShowMyPC is available in various editions, with different price tags. You can also use it for free, but with less features. The best part is that you don't have to install the application. You just need to download a single executable file and run it. It works on all modern Windows versions, as well as Android platforms.

The application's compact user interface displays two large buttons, for granting access to your own PC or viewing a remote machine. To allow other users to connect to your computer, you only need to click one of these buttons. In a few seconds, ShowMyPC will generate a unique ID, which you can send to other users, who wish to view your desktop. Before generating the ID, you can tick or untick an option, if you wish to grant full control of your computer or not.

To connect to a remote computer, all you have to do is type or paste the corresponding ID and click a button. It takes only a few seconds to establish a connection and no one will be prompted for anything. If a remote user has granted full control, you can do anything on his computer, as if you were in front of it. While controlling a computer, you can use a series of options to send keyboard commands, exchange files and perform other actions.

The application allows you to perform other actions, besides granting access to your PC or connecting to remote machines, by clicking a series of options, on the same user interface. You can join or create chatrooms, share folders, select different presenters, record the screen and take screenshots, which can be sent by email. If you don't want to show your entire desktop and file structure, you can decide to share a specific application. Additionally, you can schedule connections, in both directions.

Pros

ShowMyPC allows you to connect to a remote PC or share your own desktop with a single click. You can allow full control to your computer or grant only viewing privileges. It is also possible to schedule connections, record the screen, send screenshots and perform other actions.

Cons

Certain functions are available only if you pay for the software. With ShowMyPC, a single click is all it takes to connect to remote computers or grant access to your own machine.
